Nice name BTW. The opening act for Nightwish at their concerts can always say "the Floor is now yours" .

Best thing is of course that she wipes the floor with her predecessors!

Ho ho, I kill me.

I gotta say when I heard the news I got pretty exited, even knowing its not something permanent (as of yet )

I don´t think Tarja will be back in Nightwish, unless she divorces Marcelo

I LOVE Floor, she´s one of my favorite metal godesses, she´s got the voice (and sings as good live) and she´s got a badass headbanger attitude, and what I love the most about her is that whenever she´s giving a concert she looks comfortable singing metal, her headbanging and performance are natural, it looks like she belongs there, nothing looks forced, not even her air guitar moves She is the whole package, she´s a queen.

I hope she´ll stay, she will be good for the band, many fans didn´t even give Nightwish a shot after Tarja was gone, but now with Floor they´ll definitely do it (of course taking out those die hard Tarja fans that see her as the victim and see the rest of the band as the devil of everything that went on), afterall Floor is not a nobody in the metal scene, she happens to be one of the most loved and respected ladies out there.

now when hearing the old Nightwish songs sang by someone else other than Tarka, I won´t be nearly in tears. and there won´t be this Tarja vs Floor as it was Tarja vs Anette, which got very annoying.

I do love Tarja (only with Nightwish though!) but for me Floor>>>>>>>Tarja (and just about 90% of the female headbangers bunch)

While Floor has her band and work, she does sound quite exited about being singing for Nightwish:

Quote:

What do you do when Nightwish asks you to join them on tour? Stay calm and say, well OK….? Or does your heart start beating twice as fast instantly, hands start to sweat and your mouth is unwilling to pronounce words like “that sounds amazing”.

,

which gives me a hope she´ll stay. Of course if she´s asked to, I hope Tuomas won´t be a fool and not ask her, or even if he doesn´t () at least get a girl that will do justice to the band and their songs (someone like Lori Lewis ), Annete did her thing, but for me Nightwish was way too big for her.

They brought back Ghost Love Score to their live set, their probably most beloved song! And it sounds GREAT

If Tuomas doesn't sign her in, he's mad.

If a band looks for a carbon copy of the original piece, it usually fails. HW needs to find a new style for it's NEW lead singer

No! They used to be awesome. Then they tried to go "BlazeBailey" and failed miserably. Floor is best that they could have come with. She is awe-so-me!

Band that recently replased original with updated version. Queensryche Who was Geoff Tate? 30 years legacy spitted away. Fans hope he never again sings in QR! Tarjas legacy is as long as Anettes. Neither is missed now that we have Floor

OK, die-hard fans will embrace every new singer but to most people the real Nightwish ended after the split with Tarja

Nonsense. It's actually most people who accept Nightwish with a new singer, and only few diehards who hold into Tarja - just like there were bunch of people who refused to accept Iron Maiden with Dickinson singing.

Tarja was always very polarising figure, she sounded good on early albums but was awful on Once, and pretty terrible live performer.

Nightwish sold much more records during Anette era than during Tarja era.
